I've been "around the block" a few times and from my experience Rithmic is the way to go. Add that to Optimus and you have a winning solution. Matt and his staff are simply the best, from my experience. Matt was very helpfull in getting me up and running Rithmic using Trade Navigator by Genesis. Even though it is not a widely used platform in this forum.The stability and fills via Rithmic are as good if not the best I've had experience with. I will say my experience with Rithmic is limited to US futures. I would be curious to hear of others experience using Rithmic with products such as Equities.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I appreciate the good words! you gave me a good idea where I would make a very comprehensive list of Rithmic and the platforms it supports while also providing demo for them.

Made the move to Optimus and Rithmic and Multicharts. Rithmic is by far the fastest within multicharts compared to others ive used in the past. Optimus has great customer serivice with Matt and Jennifer. Add iqfeed if you want long historical data and you got youself a good system imho.
i had optimus for a couple of months,i never had time to trade that account but matt was very helpful and when i told him to put the money back in my bank and close the account he did so that very day.i was really impressed with optimus and will open another account with this this summer when i have some time for me...Sharky
Thank you for the question. The 50% margin is a default margin for day trading as given to everyone.
However, we can reduce the margin down to 20% if necessary and requested.

@mattz, i have been using rithmic for long time. i can not believe how little the traders out there know about it. i see you are really active on this forum, letting the trader know about rithmic. way to go, keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. We are now upgrading internally with new software package that would help customers with specific requests. The idea is to seperate technical and admin, anyway....this is the 3rd upgrade this year LOL
Once We implement that we are going to make more efforts to expose Rithmic, ie advertising. To be honest, your kindness in sharing the Rithmic info with other traders is the best ad! I wish you well in your trading.

Hi Lance, Thanks for posting that point as this issue is very important to me in broker selection. Have you had an experience when you were in a trade and either Ninjatrader or your feed went down but when you reviewed your positions on the Optimus system the stops were still intact?
Also if you put a trade through Ninja can you then login to the optimus system and check that the trade has been actioned on their end as well in real time?
